Create A File Association

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.help_and_support (More info?)

I used to be able to type a web address in the run box and it would open ie
and go to that site but now I get the response This file does not have a
program associated with it. Create an association in the folders options
control panel.

I have looked at the folder options but I am not sure which one of the many
folder types I need to ammend, I tried resetting everything but it didn't
work. The help files weren't very helpful so if anyone could advise me I
would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Go to Start/Run, and type: REGSVR32 URLMON.DLL Then open IE, Tools menu, Options, Program Tab, and click the "Reset Web Settings"
button.

To repair all system files, go to Start/Run, and type (or paste in): SFC /SCANNOW (see: Description of Windows XP and Windows Server
2003 System File Checker (Sfc.exe): http://support.microsoft.com/defau [...] -us;310747 )
